Pro Debut: Clermont ITU Pan-American Cup

The start list is out and I'm officially headed to Clermont, Florida for the ITU Pan-American Cup on March 1st. I'll be following that up with the Elite Development Race being held the next day. Might as well get in as much draft-legal experience as I can! There are some great athletes on the start list and some up-and-coming Americans that should be in the mix as well. I've had some solid weeks of training, logging over 80 hours the last 3 weeks! Since I started base training I've been able to put in over 250,000 yards in the pool. We'll find out if it's paid off in Clermont! Hoping to just make it to the finish line and not be too hard behind. It is only a sprint so I figure it's short enough that I won't get lapped out... Taking a moderate week of training this week with a ton of snow outside here in Oklahoma. Spending lots of time riding the trainer; watched the Ip Man films for the first time yesterday and today with Alex ;) Supposed to be below freezing until next Thursday so it looks like I'll have to get through those rides for at least another week. That's all for now.
